Clan Kushlak

A once proud dwarven settlement called Settlestone, Kushlak is now in barbarian control and has been for 400 years. It is located east of the Batu Khanate and south of Khaz'Azril. The town is built upon dwarven stonework, and large longhouses and huts have remained in their stead. Wooden walls surround the settlement with large towers overseeing the land.

History
Settlestone, as it was once called by the dwarves, was one of the few dwarven settlements built entirely above ground. Over a thousand years ago, the settlement was built with huge slabs of rock laid against one another. These sturdy structures withstood the elements for years and even survived several centuries after the village was abandoned.

Used by the occupants of Khaz'Azril as a public front and forward base, Settlestone was first resettled in 800s AS by barbarians from the north led by Berkthgar. It was renamed Kushlak, and their barbarian clan still holds to this day.

They found a peace treaty with the Batu Khanate in 1127 AS, agreeing that they will not raid their lands and were gifted land of their own so they may settle and live non-violent lives.

Trade
Not much is traded here, they mostly live off the land when not raiding. They only trade when in need of certain things like metals and luxury goods, however those are also more often found when sacking a city.

Society
It is a power hungry society where the strongest reigns supreme. All races are welcome here and so are all religions, however you must prove your worth by having your name known to another in the settlement so they may vouch for you. This can be given by raiding many settlements, killing a terrible monster, or ransacking cursed lands where few dare to go.
